Access Issue: PLACING BOLTS IS ILLEGAL IN THE SUPERSTITION WILDERNESS!
Details
In the early '90's the USFS banned all placement of bolts in the Superstition Wilderness. This unfortunately includes replacement of existing bolts. Violating this ban may result in climbing restrictions on this beautiful area. Please think twice and go bolt somewhere else.
Description
Fun pocket pulling and probably best done as a top rope. Start on top of boulders on good jugs. Pull up past crimps and pockets on sustained vertical terrain. The first(and only) bolt is located after the crux about 30' up at a good rest. Another 20' or so of 5.10 climbing gains the ledge with a 2 bolt anchor on the left.
Location
Center of the South face. 15' to the right of Bay Tree Belay.
Protection
1 bolt. Could probably use some of the pockets to place tricams or small gear.
